Proverbs - How to Have a Troubled Life

Proverbs 17:19

He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

If we desire to have a troubled life we must make sure that our hearts are kind of twisted in motives and that our tongues don’t quite say things accurately or according to God’s truth.  To have a day where we find no good, it is important that when the Holy Spirit shows us some sort of hidden agenda or haughty thought, we resist it and justify it.  To find ourselves fallen into mischief and trouble we should speak about things in a way that we stack the information to our favor or in some sort of way to get what we want people to believe to come across.  In order to have out lives continually discover things that are not good, our hearts should remain stubborn and closed to correction.  To be in the midst of troubled relationships, our mouth should repeat counsel and advice that is rooted in this world and directly conflicts with what God says is right.


Ladies, what unnecessary conflict and burdens we end up carrying when our hearts and mouths are not subjected to the Lord.  Let us find good today by asking the Lord to create in us clean hearts.  Let us avoid falling into mischief by repeating matters accurately and giving information in the most truthful and loving way possible.  Let us find good things as we are quick to confess those ugly thoughts and motives we may find within our hearts. Let us keep ourselves from falling by giving sound words rooted in God’s truth and love.  This makes for a day where we can anticipate finding good and avoiding falling.
